Description
Allows a developer to easily define multiple featured-type instances for post types. These featured-type instances do not necessarily need to be named Featured, but is just another way to single out specific posts of a post type under a common label. When defining a featured type, a page will be added to the submenu of the post type you registered it for. This page is used to manage the order of the featured items and remove items that no longer should be featured.
Installation
As theme or plugin dependency:
After dropping the plugin into the containing theme or plugin, add the following:
<?php if( ! class_exists( 'Voce_Featured_Posts' ) ) { require_once( $path_to_voce_featured_posts . '/voce-featured-posts.php' ); } ?>
